The + mixologist: Nectar at Maison Mère
Here’s the perfect spot for food lovers on a quest for flavors ! Both a cocktail bar and a restaurant, Nectar offers a sensory experience that lets you explore the amazing aromas of the cocktails on the menu, helping you pick the one that suits you best. Next, you’ll discover the creative cuisine of chef Aurélien Lasjuilliarias through plates to share, all delicious and delightful. Don’t miss the scallops seared in bergamot-infused butter and the little tartlets filled with...peas, bean sprouts, green onions, and sprinkled with bay leaf. For dessert, we loved the chocolate-parsnip tartlet, tonka bean caramel, and its umami-flavored miso ice cream that is super addictive. Does that make your mouth water ? Head over to just a stone's throw from the square Montholon, in the 9th.

The tastiest: Babi
Last August, right in the heart of Paris, Jérémy and Néo launched Babi. Since then, these two friends have been treating us every evening to original, seasonal sharing plates, the kind that leaves an unforgettable memory. In an intimate setting, whether at a table or at the counter for a unique view of the kitchen, you can savor the vegetables, fish, and meats elevated by masterful cooking and seasoning.
is at your fingertips. A (very) special mention goes to the pepper butter, served with a fried pita, and to the Asian-flavored eggplant skewer. All of this is complemented by a delightful bottle of wine from the selection of worldwide favorites, the key to a truly successful evening.Voir cette publication sur Instagram

The + Japanese: OTTO
It’s the new restaurant by Éric Trochon, a Michelin-starred chef and Meilleur Ouvrier de France: OTTO has opened its doors on Rue Mouffetard, offering an experience that transports you away. On the menu, there are absolutely amazing shared plates and a selection of natural wines that should delight budding wine lovers, all in a decor reminiscent of Izakaya, the Japanese sake bars. Make sure you don’t miss the celery root and hazelnut doughnuts, paired with a creamy fresh cheese and lemon dip, they’re so melt-in-your-mouth delicious you’ll wish for three plates. Also, a love at first taste for the semi-cooked tuna with a super intense soy and garlic sauce, or the caramel rice pudding with roasted hazelnuts for dessert. Simple, no frills, well executed – we totally approve.
